I'm a historian, tutor, editor, beginning gardener & aspiring self-hoster. My research focuses on early medieval #hagiography & its function in the pastoral care of the laity, so I think a lot about the intersection of ideology, rhetoric, & praxis.
I enjoy travel & (smartphone) photography, museums, big cities but also nature. I hope to use this account to share my travels and to promote ancient & medieval studies on the fediverse. @medievodons@histodons
Two upcoming online lectures next Tuesday, 14 May (alas, their times overlap).
Here's the first, sponsored by the Celtic Studies Association of North America: Sarah Waidler (NYU) will speak on ‘Arthur, Authority and the Saints Revisited’ at 12 noon EDT (= 5 pm BST).
